The library

Eight fragrances.

Every scent is available across formats — a diffuser for constancy, a candle for an evening, a spray for the minute before guests arrive. Start with the scent, then choose how you want to live with it.

Woody amber

Harmattan Dusk

The hour after the sun drops in December, when the air turns dry and everything smells faintly of dust and woodsmoke. Warm without being sweet, and the one people ask about most often when they walk in.

Fresh cotton

Ìkọ̀yí Linen

Sheets dried on a line in the sun and brought in still warm. Clean in the way that reads as care rather than detergent. Our quietest scent, and the one we recommend for a room someone sleeps in.

Spiced oud

Night Market

Spice stalls after dark — cardamom in the air, something resinous burning nearby. Our most opulent blend. A little goes a long way, and it is very good in a room with high ceilings.

Palm & Salt

The coast an hour outside the city. Green and saline rather than sweet, which is what makes it work in humid rooms where most florals collapse.

Quiet Hours

Late evening, everyone asleep, one lamp still on. Gentle enough to live with all night and never sharp. The scent we send most often as a new-baby or get-well gift.

Leather tobacco

Study No. 4

A room where work gets done. Dry, a little severe, no sweetness at all. Our fourth attempt at this one was the first that was right, hence the name.

Black pepper, bay

Tobacco leaf, clove

Leather, tonka bean

Smoked wood

Ember Room

A fire an hour after it has gone out. Smoke, resin and warm wood. Best in the cooler months, and unexpectedly good at Christmas.

Cinnamon bark

Guaiac wood, incense
base
Birch tar, amber

Herbal fig

Green Hour

Cut stems and green things in water. Sharpens a room without shouting. If you find most fragrances too heavy, start here.
